21. I do not believe that poll

I tried to find the mix of demographics but did not find it quickly.
I did not feel like trying to figure it out from their numbers.
It should be readily available if they're credible and professional.
Shouldn't have to search for it.

Why would I say that?
From looking at all the polls on Real Clear Politics & 538.com
and from Trump's state by state approval numbers

Trump is not close to leading in any of Hillary's 2016 states.
And he's behind in many if not all of the battleground states
